| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Presents articles discussing sexual behavior of female sex workers, their clients, and young adults, health care seeking behavior for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and the quality of STD care in the public and private health sector. It examines the relationships that the sex-workers have with their clientele and how it contributes to HIV transmission. The difference in health care seeking behavior is also addressed with regards to gender and STDs. It revealed that condom use in the region is lower than expected and their health seeking behavior is poor such that they do not seek any care at all or wait very long before seeking care. Private sector hospitals were found to be more popular than public sector despite the low quality of care and high costs. It recommends that HIV interventions should be implemented in areas that are frequented by sex workers such as bars, nightclubs and lodges, and that health care providers should educate their patients on condom use and on the risk to contract HIV. |
